Fu Manchu drummer Scott Reeder has joined Social Distortion. He will sit behind the kit for Social Distortion\'s upcoming tour of South America.

Drummer Adam \"Atom\" Willard left Social Distortion last week to concentrate on work with Blink 182 star Tom DeLonge\'s side project Angels and Airwaves.

For three decades, Social Distortion blended punk rock with influences from country, blues, folk and rockabilly along with with its own brand of hard-driving rock \'n\' roll.

Social Distortion has released six full-length studio albums, two compilations, one live album and two dvds. The band is currently writing, rehearsing and recording material for a new studio album, which is due for release later in 2010.
